I don't think it's an accident we've had six different teams over the last six years that have won championships We have more competitive teams than any time in league history - Adam Silver

Silver on 2nd apronThe point was to design a system - I'm not embarrassed to say more NFL like where every team was put in a position where regardless of market size they could compete for championships 8 different champions over the last eight years That isn't necessarily a sign of success

Brian Windhorst There's a lot of people that made a lot of assumptions about Adam Silver along the way This is as big of a punishment has ever been doled out in the NBA He has been presumed to be soft on crime to a certain certain extend That's not something you can say today

Bill Simmons on Adam Silver and Portland Last couple years it seems revenue money finance driven is the job and I don't know if that's the job In this case you should care about Portland This would be a really bad one

Adam Silver I would see it as a failure if we did not keep the team in Portland We need a state of the art arena By any objective measure the current building there in the bottom measure of any arena in the league

Adam Silver We discussed ongoing negotiations with the Euro League We believe that NBA Europe would be strengthened by joining forces with the Euro League It doesn't have to happen but I think we would all be better off as a unified front in Europe in terms of the potential investors
